Bugaboo
4.1
(28)
"Personally we went for the Bugaboo"
"I have a bugaboo butterfly, it has a long back rest."
"We hired a bugaboo butterfly from Baboodle when we went to Canada with a transfer at Heathrow. Thoroughly recommend both Baboodle and the Butterfly."
"Now we just use the Butterfly all the time."
"Folds/unfolds with one hand, fits in airplane overhead bins, and must be comfy for the little ones too."
"It's amazing."
"I also sold my mamas and papas Ocarro to get the bugaboo fox 3 because… omg, they are just elite."
"I absolutely fucking love our Bugaboo Butterfly!! I use it more than our Oyster now for just daily walks."
"Love the bugaboo butterfly, the back is tall so good for toddlers but annoying you have to buy the bar separate."
"Buggaboo bee - it’s discontinued so they’re probably well cheap second hand now."

Cybex
4.2
(17)
"I loved the Cybex Gazelle but whatever pushchair you consider, make sure you check the weight limit on them."
"This was the only one that I found suitable."
"We have Cybex Libelle, great in general and for air travel in particular. No problem whatsoever."
"I loveeee the Orfeo, so much so that we use it as our everyday pram and got rid of I candy monstrosity."
"Cybex Orfeo. Two transatlantic trips and some short haul. Plus our daily pram. So much cheaper than the other ones mentioned so far. And works really well!"
"It's brilliant, can be used as a double or a single."
"I bought a really teeny tiny lightweight one that is world facing only (cybex orfeo, I paid about £170 new because the colour was being discontinued)."
"The libelle packs smaller and holds the same"
"Cybex libelle"
"Look at the cybex libelle. Way more compact"

Joolz
4.8
(12)
"We are so glad we spent the money and bought this (over the Yoyo which everyone else had!) - it folds one handed, is compact, can be put in the overhead lockers. We use it as our everyday buggy now as it’s so lightweight!"
"100% Joolz aer. It’s actually been our only pram since birth. It’s made trips on planes to Scotland, Singapore and Japan. Absolutely unbeatable, light, adaptable, great one handed fold and comfy!"
"Joolz Aer+ 100% the best. Easy to use, light, compact and the right size for cabin approval!"
"No budget- Joolz aer+, it’s amazing. I use it day to day now"
"We’re Joolz Aer+ fans here. Easy to use, always has been accepted in the cabin, light, excellent recline and my stubborn 2 year old even naps in it!"
"Just echoing the recommendations for Joolz Aer+."
"I would recommend the Joolz AER+."
"And love it. So light and handles a lot more than you think a compact would!"
"The Joolz is much lighter and I found it much easier to fold down."
"Very lightweight and easy to fold."

Babyzen
4.6
(12)
"We have the YoYo, and love it. Everyone airline recognizes it immediately so there’s never any argument about it going in the overhead."
"We bought new for our first and it's still going strong 5 years later. Back then I think it was the only carry on permitted pushchair and even now airport staff refer to by it brand when asking."
"I’ve been on multiple flights with it. Long and short haul and I can push it down the aisle with ease"
"Yoyo is the absolute best"
"YoYo, the brand is pretty much universally known so very unlikely to have any issues."
"Recommend the YOYO, never had and issue with its its ended up replacing my main one. I have used it to travel abroad a fair bit and its a brand very well known by staff."
"Babyzen YoYo"
"I love the babyzen yoyo! Currently travelling in Europe with a 3 year old and a baby by myself."
"Managed to get one in great condition for £180. Im pretty sure when we grow out of it I can resell it again at £180 again."
"We’ve hired a Babyzen Yoyo twice now."
#5
Joie
4.0
(12)
"Joie litetrax 4 is a great pushchair for around £120 I believe."
"I would highly recommend going for a design similar that folds in on itself."
"Joie pact lite. Folds up like a suitcase instead of an umbrella."
"Our cheapy is the Joie Litetrax 4. Really good sun canopy, fully lies back to flat."
"Seconding the joie nitro! We use it as our every day pushchair."
"We have the Joie Nitro from Argos - £65."
"We just picked up a second hand Joie Nitro on facebook marketplace to live at Grandparent's house, feels like good quality so far."
"My mums has a Joie Nitro for my daughter which was like £50-£60."
"We just got the Joie signature tourist as we needed something light and small for a cruise."
"We bought the Joie signature and I’m actually really happy with it."

Silver Cross
4.2
(11)
"They fold umbrella-style so they're extremely lightweight."
"Folds up small enough to go in the cabin."
"I absolutely love it. The sun shade on it is fantastic."
"Silver Cross Zest is my suggestion"
"Silver Cross Pop. Goes to 25 kg and is tall enough that my 50th centile 4.5 year old was happy in it on holiday last summer."
"We had the silver cross zest and it was great when we went abroad."
"We went with the Silver Cross Clic (one hand fold, about 6kg, has a carry strap)."
"See if you can find a second hand Silver Cross Pop."
"If it's just for around town and well paved areas, the silver cross pop is really good."
"We're getting the Silver Cross Pioneer.. it has a telescopic extending handle and attachments that can raise the carrycot/pushchair part a few inches."

Mountain Buggy
4.1
(10)
"We have got on really well with the Mountain Buggy Duet. It isn't too bulky and its easy to manoeuvre."
"Unlike many other side by sides, it will fit through pretty much any door you can find."

"Currently looking at the Mountain Buggy Duet or the Monster Baby Easy Twin."
"It's not under £500, but it's cheaper than the Buggaboo."

"We have a Mountain Buggy urban Jungle and it’s handle bar flips up and down to various heights."
"I've just brought the Mountain Buggy Terrain which has an adjustable handle and also 2 sizes of wheels."
